"Master Mei, it is precisely because I remember it clearly, but I am even more suspicious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Gu Yan said, "Ordinary people just remember the time, how can they even remember the time clearly?" Could it be that this person still carries more leaks with him? Apparently made up. Besides, I didn't give it to him, and the handwriting must be different from mine. Even if someone deliberately planted it, Gu Yan thought to himself, he wanted to keep a low profile, and his pen and ink were not circulated much, so there must not be many people who knew that he was good at the royal body, and he should not be imitated.

Mei Zhi listened, thoughtfully, and the expression on her face softened slightly.

Seeing that Mei Zhi was slightly moved, Gu Yan struck while the iron was hot: "Besides, I didn't step out of the door yesterday, if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire." ”

After listening to this, Mei Zhi groaned and did not say anything.

Gu Yan's eyes burned and he looked at the slanderous person: "Is the person you saw yesterday really me?" Why do I have to do such things myself and put them into practice! ”

When the man heard this, he retorted loudly as if he had caught a straw that had fallen on the straw: "Naturally, it is because I remember your appearance that I can give you things, but if I change to someone else, how can I remember." ”

When Gu Yan heard this, he didn't get angry or immediately refute, but he laughed.

This smile naturally attracted everyone's attention, and then Gu Yan stopped laughing, turned to the public who appeared at the beginning and asked, "This big brother, when you walked in, was I lying on the bed?" ”

The man's eyes flickered, and he replied, "Not bad." ”

Gu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was also low, he turned around and faced Mei Zhi: "Master Mei, this person said that I went to see him so that he could know me and give me that thing, but I was lying on the bed at that time, not to mention that it was getting late, and there was a distance of one or twenty steps in between, how did this person recognize me and stuff things under my inkstone?" After speaking, he stared at the slanderous man, but the man did not speak.

Mei Zhi was quite moved, looked at Gu Yan's side slightly, and muttered: "In this way, this matter is not concluded now, it is better to transfer it to Kaifeng Mansion for processing." After speaking, he added to Gu Yan: "If you are innocent, I promise that you will never be implicated." In fact, the balance in Mei Zhi's heart has also been tilted in favor of Gu Yan, but this matter is not small after all, there is no clear investigation, and there is no direct evidence, so Mei Zhi is not easy to deal with.

This seems to be a safe way, if it were an ordinary scholar, maybe he would have agreed. It's just that I think I'm unlucky, and I'll just wait another three years. But Gu Yan obviously couldn't accept it, this imperial examination was the one he was most sure of, not only knew some of the topics, but also knew Ouyang Xiu's determination to advocate ancient literature. If you haven't done anything, you have to wait for another three years, how can Gu Yan endure it. What's more, Gu Yan also has a lot of fame now. Ordinary scholars encounter this matter, if they are innocent in the end, there will not be much of a problem, but Gu Yan is different. If you fail to pass the imperial examination this time, there will definitely be people who have doubts, and after asking around, today's events will inevitably come out, and everyone will talk about money, rumors and murder. Once it is not handled well, Gu Yan's reputation will be completely ruined. What's more, since someone deliberately framed him, how could there be no one fanning the flames? Gu Yan sneered in his heart. If it is really impossible, Gu Yan can only break the kettle, throw the inkstone, go to the mountains and forests to live in seclusion, and announce that he will not participate in the imperial examination again, and make this matter bigger, so as to protect his reputation. As for the officer, wait patiently for ten or twenty years, maybe you can wait for the conscription of the imperial court. But how could Gu Yan be willing!

Gu Yan took a deep breath and looked at Mei Zhi: "The adult's handling is extremely proper, it's just that the student has studied hard for many years and has no chance to take the provincial exam, not because of poor academics, not because there is a reason for it, but because of these unwarranted things." The students are not convinced! ”

Mei Zhi was a little embarrassed, glanced at Gu Yan, and sighed slightly: "What's your name?" ”

"I'm talking about it." Gu Yan's face was calm, as if he was just an ordinary tribute student.

Mei Zhi heard the name and looked Gu Yan up and down. Gu Yan has been closed for a long time, and there are indeed not many people who can see him. However, in such an occasion, the identity is naturally real. Knowing that Gu Yan is Gu Yuzhi, who is now in the limelight, the balance in his heart is more inclined to Gu Yan, in his opinion, a talent who can write a collection of notes on the four books does not look like a person who makes a cheat sheet. Thinking of the current situation, Mei Zhi also roughly understood some of Gu Yan's concerns. Thinking that just today, the chief examiner Ouyang Xiu also mentioned Gu Yan, Mei Zhi had an idea in his heart, he summoned a person, and said softly: "Go and invite Ouyang Hanlin over, just say that there is an urgent matter here." ”

Gu Yan's hearing was quite keen, and he heard Mei Zhi's voice. Didn't speak again.

It's the time of the day. Except for Mei Zhi, who came to inspect the examination room temporarily, most of the other examiners had already slept. Ouyang Xiu is no exception. He was asleep when there was a knock on the door. Hearing this knock on the door, he immediately sobered up for the most part. What can disturb people in the middle of the night is nothing more than what happened to the imperial examination this time. As the chief examiner of the imperial examination, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but sink his heart, as the chief examiner, he had to lead by example, and Ouyang Xiu naturally had no servants and maids around him. He asked aloud, "What's the matter?" He hastily put on his clothes and lit the oil lamp.

"Master Mei said that there is an urgent matter for you to decide." Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu's hand on his clothes couldn't help but pause, but the speed of putting on clothes after that was much faster. Ouyang Xiu and Mei Zhi also have some personal relationships. In Ouyang Xiu's opinion, although Mei Zhi is a quiet and upright person, he is not a person who is hesitant and indecisive. Ask him to come over...... I'm afraid I'm really in a dilemma.

Ouyang Xiu quickly got dressed. I glanced at the leak again. Pushing open the door, he asked, "What happened?" You lead the way, we talk as we go, don't leave anything out. ”

"Yes, when Wang Liu was patrolling at night, he found that there was a person sneaking around in the candidate's place, so he stepped forward to ask, but that person was...... Searched ......"

The two gradually walked away.

Ouyang Correction was on the way to come. On Gu Yan's side, he was speechless for a while. After a while, Gu Yan looked at the tolerance and said, "I wonder if I can take a look at this thing?" ”

The duke looked at Mei Zhi and saw that Mei Zhi nodded, before he replied, "Yes." ”

Gu Yan took a few steps forward, picked up the booklet, and flipped through it casually, but his heart sank more and more. A sense of anger slowly rose. If he had doubts about it before, he was now absolutely sure that it was a false accusation against him!
